rather than using CSV in a input, can you not use a new data type and add it to a list? ---

I mean your List of text values is just a dumb list of characters. your list of MSs are a list of entries from a data type. ---

Sorry if I am missing something, it is hard to tell from just the screen shots. It looks like you are storing the _MS_ as text rather than a database entry? why don’t you just have a data type called _MSs_ and the on the _order\_tech\_calls\_user_ you store a list of MSs rather than writing them in to plan text as CSV? ---

Hello is hard to explain but, i use plugin Floppy: localStorage, List Shifter for the store information to the database and i can store only like text i dont find any another solution. for that reason i need find the way how to make from that text like (MS1, MS2…) which is also oprion set (MS) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/7/d7987aaa501fa68e3dbb724e761a5bf410503fb1.png) list of MS and i can edit this list of MS on the user. thank you
